Guest SimonReed Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi all.. I have recently got myself a M1000 and have been trying to download some stuff for it. I have installed the ActiveSync software on my desktop and have so far downloaded the 2 files that I wish to go onto my pocket pc, onto it's c:drive. When you open ActiveSync, is it as easy as clicking on the files you wish to transfer, and dragging them across to the 'explore' window of ActiveSync. This is basically what I have done, and it has allowed me to view the 2 files on my PPC's file explorer area. When you click on the files in there though, you get the message "eXPerience-v209-demo-setup is not a valid Pocket PC application". I have spoken to eXPerience's support team and they can only come back and say that as long as this file name is present (ie: not an .asp like it was before), it should work. Getting abit confuzzled now as to what to do - can anyone shed some light ?? ps.) The second file was a download manager called GetRight) regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 You should run those files PC-side when connected with ActiveSync. They sound like standard Windows installers and your PPC won't know what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SimonReed Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 You mean just click on the files on the PC desktop ??, or whilst the files are in the ActiveSync 'explore' area ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Double-click on the file when it's on the Desktop (or My Docs in my case), not in the ActiveSync window, and the installer will find the PPC itself. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Just one thing to add. If you download a cab file, don't unzip it. Copy it across to a folder on the M1000 (say My Documents) with ActiveSync and then prod it with the stylus to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
